Zuckerberg's Meta Donates $1M to Trump's Inaugural Fund After Mar-a-Lago Meeting
Dec 12, 2024, 04:00 AM
Meta Platforms, led by CEO Mark Zuckerberg, has donated $1 million to President-elect Donald Trump's inaugural fund. This marks a notable shift in Meta's approach, as the company did not contribute to Trump's 2017 inauguration nor to President Biden's inauguration in 2021. The donation is seen as part of an effort to build a positive relationship with the incoming administration after a tense history, including previous bans of Trump from Meta's platforms. Last month, Zuckerberg met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, where he provided a private demonstration of Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses, which he gifted to the president-elect. Prior to their dinner, Zuckerberg and advisers met with political figures including Marco Rubio, Stephen Miller, Nikki Haley, and Tony Blair.
